Dont mean to be rude but read the forum!

 

[monty]

i read but how about personal review on different film with different developer?

 

[knight84]

Its all in there!!

for anyone to give u any constructive advice, you need to be more specific. What kind of film? colour negative, colour slides or black and white negative? what kind of developing equipment do you already have? What format are you shooting? And finally, what do you mean by easy? What may be easy to me may not be to you. If you know what you want, like what knight84, the answers are all out there. do a search at APUG or photo.net... most topics have been asked and discussed to death.

If u need ready answers, then try going down to Ruby..i bet after like 30mins talk, u can get wat u need and the advice that u want...since u r buying from them, i bet they will entertain ur questions...

Yes, just need to go down to Ruby, they will recommend you a starter kit, and it is very easy to start.

what you can get now is a general develop/stop bath/ fixer for general film
those special films and hard to use chemical are hard to get, don't worry so much about it

 

[monty]

thanks guys for the reply, i'll head down to ruby and talk to them

 

[monty]

i got all the ilford chemical and i wonder how offen do i need to change my fixer (HYPAM FIXER & HARDENER)?

It's written in the tech pub, aft 12 rolls you should replenish. But some say it can go up to 20 rolls.

 

[monty]

anyone senior have trick to reduce water mark when the negative had dried?

 

[heshanj]

hmm.. u could use wetting agent in ur final wash.. or use distilled water... or both.. that should ensure there's no residue once ur film dries.
